Airport officials sent out a notice that customers plan ahead for possible traffic delays cause by a California Department of Transportation project on U.S. Highway 50, which is scheduled to start on Tuesday and continue through June 25.

The project includes fixing up elevated sections of the highway between 18th and 24th streets in midtown Sacramento, causing periodic closing of connector ramps to Highway 99 and Business 80.

Congestion could spread to adjacent roadways, too, according to a statement sent out by Sacramento County Department of Airports.

The county recommends keeping up on roadwork my monitoring the news or downloading traffic apps, such as Google Maps or Waze. The project’s website is at www.fix50.com.
